Engineered Wood Plank Flooring: Timeless Style for Modern Living
Engineered wood plank flooring remains one of the most popular flooring choices in London homes. Its clean lines, natural look, and versatility make it perfect for both modern and traditional interiors.
What is Plank Wood Flooring?
Plank flooring refers to long, straight boards—typically ranging from 120mm to 220mm wide—installed in a linear pattern. Unlike herringbone or chevron, plank flooring creates a more open, seamless look across the room.
Why Choose Plank Flooring?
- ✔ Clean, modern appearance
- ✔ Makes rooms feel larger and more open
- ✔ Faster installation compared to patterned floors
- ✔ More cost-effective than herringbone
- ✔ Ideal for large open-plan spaces
Wide Plank vs Standard Plank

| Type | Best For | Look |

| Standard Plank (120–160mm) | Smaller rooms | Classic, traditional |
